I need to record my neighbours harassing me but my phone mic is horrible and doesn’t pick anything up unless it’s right beside the phone or there’s an explosion.
I tried security cams and they don’t pick sound up either well.
Does anyone have suggestions for this?
Yes depending on the phone will depend on how - lots of external mics out there just need to ensure it doesn’t need to draw power. Google for microphone for vloging is a good start.
You’ll need a TRS to TRRS 3.5mm adaptor. And you just plug it into your phone’s socket headset jack and it’ll automatically switch.
But you possibly will need a usb-c/lighting to 3.5mm jack adaptor if there’s no 3.5mm socket.
But I’d recommend getting a replacement phone or action camera with a better mic then there’s no messing around attaching stuff.
